O objetivo desta dissertação é estudar as associações entre os acidentes de trabalho, os determinantes sociais e culturais e as condições de trabalho. A análise contribuirá para que se possam elaborar estratégias e medidas que permitam a redução da sinistralidade laboral e que proporcionem um ambiente de trabalho salubre e saudável.
O estudo das associações, inicialmente, foi elaborado tendo como unidade de análise o país europeu. A informação relativa aos acidentes de trabalho fatais e não fatais ocorridos no ano de 2016 foi recolhida através de dados disponibilizados pelo EUROSTAT, sendo depois correlacionada com os resultados país a país do 8º European Social Survey (ESS) (dados de 2016), com os resultados país a país das seis dimensões culturais definidas por Geert Hofstede e do 6º European Working Conditions Survey (dados de 2015), estas eram as edições mais recentes dos questionários disponíveis no início de 2019. Os resultados dos determinantes sociais foram também analisados duma perspetiva das dimensões culturais e das condições de trabalho. Adicionalmente, também se consideraram os resultados das condições de trabalho através duma perspetiva das dimensões culturais.
Considerando os fatores preponderantes que se destacaram no estudo das associações a nível europeu, realizou-se de seguida um questionário respondido por 123 trabalhadores de 21 empresas distintas, espalhadas maioritariamente pelos distritos de Viseu e Guarda, com vista a perceber-se se esses fatores se mantêm preponderantes quando se passa de um nível de análise macro (continente europeu) para um nível de análise individual numa região.
Tendo em conta o nível de análise europeu encontraram-se associações fortes para os quatro indicadores principais: determinantes sociais, culturais, condições de trabalho e acidentes de trabalho (fatais e não fatais).
Quando se passou para o nível de análise micro (individual) apenas se mantiveram os fatores preponderantes para uma perspetiva dos acidentes de trabalho com as condições de trabalho e dos determinantes sociais com as dimensões culturais e com as condições de trabalho.
Devido à propriedade da causalidade emergente, os fatores que se mostraram preponderantes nos dois níveis de análise são considerados fundamentais, uma vez que as correlações que se mantiveram para o nível macro e para o nível micro indicaram as variáveis fundamentais e as relações genuínas entre variáveis, ao passo que as que não se mantiveram foram consideradas acidentais.
The aim of this dissertation is to study the associations between accidents at work, social and cultural determinants and working conditions. The analysis will contribute to the development of strategies and measures to reduce accidents at work and provide a healthy work environment. The study of the associations, initially, was elaborated having as unit of analysis the European country. Information on fatal and non-fatal work accidents occurred in 2016 was collected using EUROSTAT data and then correlated with the 8th European Social Survey (ESS) country-by-country results (2016 data), with country-by-country results of the six cultural dimensions defined by Geert Hofstede and the 6th European Working Conditions Survey (2015 data), these were the most recent editions of the questionnaires available at the beginning of 2019. The results of the social determinants were also analyzed from a perspective of cultural dimensions and working conditions. In addition, the results of working conditions were also considered from a cultural perspective. Considering the preponderant factors that stood out in the study of the associations at European level, a questionnaire was made and then answered by 123 workers from 21 different companies, spread mainly in the districts of Viseu and Guarda, in order to understand if these factors are remain dominant when moving from a macro analysis (European continent) to a level of individual analysis in a region. Taking into account the level of European analysis, strong associations were found for the four main indicators: social, cultural determinants, working conditions and accidents at work (fatal and non-fatal). When the level of micro (individual) analysis was taken into account, only the preponderant factors for a labor accident perspective with working conditions and social determinants with the cultural dimensions and working conditions remained the same. Due to the property of causal emergence, the factors that were preponderant at the two levels of analysis are considered fundamental, since the correlations that have remained at the macro and micro level indicated the fundamental variables and the genuine relationships between variables, while those that did not remain were considered accidental.
